Given:
m∠G = (x + 44)°
m∠J = 3x°
Let's find the value of x.
Here, we have an isosceles triangle.
An isosceles triangle has equal base angles.
Here, angle J and angle G are the base angles.
Thus, we have:
m∠J = m∠G
3x = x + 44
Let's solve x.
Subtract x from both sides:
3x - x = x - x + 44
2x = 0 + 44
2x = 44
Divide both sides by 2:
ANSWER:
x = 22
